Background: In patients undergoing cartilage restoration of the knee, limited information is available regarding clinically important difference (CID) and Patient Acceptable Symptomatic State (PASS) estimates for commonly used patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs). Purpose: The objective this study was to determine CID PASS in population with knee Knee injury Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS), International Documentation Committee Subjective Form (IKDC) score, Lysholm score. Study...
Return to sport testing after ACL reconstruction (ACLR) is becoming increasingly popular. Anecdotally, some believe that patients who undergo a second surgery on either the ipsilateral or contralateral leg progress through their rehabilitation goals faster time through. The purpose of this study was evaluate rate strength progression in return primary and secondary ACLR surgeries young, active population. A retrospective review underwent between September 2013 December 2022 performed....
The hemoglobin content of blood is an important health indicator, and the presence microscopic amounts in places where it normally does not occur, e.g. plasma or urine, a sign diseases such as hemolytic anemia urinary tract infections. Thus, methods to detect quantify are for clinical laboratories, banks, point-of-care diagnostics. precipitation polymerization N-isopropylacrylamide by hemoglobin-catalyzed atom transfer radical (ATRP) used assay quantification relying on formation turbidity...
Background: Microfracture is an effective surgical treatment for full-thickness cartilage defects of the knee; however, little known regarding long-term outcomes after microfracture in shoulder. Purpose: To present clinical patients undergoing articular glenohumeral joint. Study Design: Case series; Level evidence, 4. Methods: Sixteen consecutive (17 shoulders) were retrospectively reviewed who underwent arthroscopic humeral head and/or glenoid surface, with or without additional procedures...
Background: The incidence of contralateral anterior cruciate ligament (CACL) injuries after recovery from a first-time (ACL) disruption is high in women; however, little known about the risk factors associated with this trauma. Hypothesis: Patient characteristics, strength, anatomic alignment, and neuromuscular characteristics uninjured leg at time first ACL trauma are subsequent CACL injury, these distinct those for injury. Study Design: Case-control study; Level evidence, 3. Methods:...
A Substantial Clinical Benefit (SCB) value is the amount of change in a patient-reported outcome measure required for patient to feel they significantly improved from an intervention. Previously published SCB values are often cited by researchers when publishing outcomes data. Where these set can have large impact on conclusions drawn study citing them. As such, goal this was determine generalizability procedure stratified time surgery and geographic region.A nationwide database utilized...
Osteoarthritis has one of the highest associations for all-cause mortality in United States. Comorbidities are common patients with end-stage disease. In most cases, it is critical to exhaust conservative modalities care before resorting surgical intervention. This article discusses approaches focusing on injectable treatments that can be employed prior total knee replacement. [ Orthopedics . 2018; 41(5):256–260.]
Patient-reported outcome (PRO) surveys have become increasingly important in both improving patient care and assessing outcomes.The purpose of this study was to evaluate which variables are associated with compliance completing PRO patients who undergone anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR). The authors hypothesized that older age longer time since ACLR would be lower completion rates preoperatively at postoperative points.Case series; Level evidence, 4.All underwent by a sports...
Intra-articular distal humerus fractures frequently require olecranon osteotomies for adequate exposure, but fixation of is associated with high rates hardware-related complications requiring subsequent reoperation removal. Intramedullary screw an attractive option to attempt minimize hardware prominence. The purpose this biomechanical study directly compare intramedullary (IMSF) plate (PF) chevron osteotomies. It was hypothesized that PF would be biomechanically superior IMSF.Chevron 12...
The utilization of ambulatory surgery centers (ASCs) and same-day discharge (SDD) from hospital-based (HBCs) after total hip arthroplasty (THA) continues to increase. There remains a paucity literature directly comparing patient-reported outcomes by site. We sought compare between patients undergoing THA at an ASC versus HBC while controlling for medical comorbidities.
